They have a range of 7 or so units with specific use cases which might appeal to your requirements, and the above Australian prices are quite reasonable….for Radial products ! Full mfr listing below:

Yes they're a good little range of devices - compact, affordable and decent quality. I've seen plenty of them in guitarists' pedal boards for some particular task, not so many as plain old DI's as we know them. That retailer is always worth looking at too if you're after a local source, for many things. I've ordered from them and got a fair price and smooth delivery, no problem.
I still think I like the JDI Stereo for what I've got in mind now but I would absolutely consider the Stage Bugs at other times... in fact I think I like the Ice Cube iso transformer for fixing the buzz when I use a passive split with my RE520 vocal condensers. They're affordable and while they may not have a high end transformer I'm confident I'd have no complaints about them for a 16 track capture of a live performance
